Princess Diana’s Life Became ‘Untethered’ Ahead of Her Tragic Death, Investigative Journalist Claims

The late Princess Diana was reportedly in a state of “justified anxiety” in the time leading up with her death, according to a new account from her private secretary Patrick Jephson.

“It is not paranoia if you have reasonable grounds to believe that they are out to get you,” Jephson told People in an interview published Tuesday, November 25.

According to investigative journalist Andy Webb – who penned a new book Dianarama: Deception, Entrapment, Cover-Up—The Betrayal of Princess Diana – BBC journalist Martin Bashir betrayed the late royal by using forged documents to deceive Diana into believing she was being spied on in an effort to convince her sit down for their November 1995 interview.

“Her life became untethered. It was frenzied between the interview and her death,” Webb claimed, according to People. “There’s so much that’s new that I wanted to put down in this book — a first draft of history.”

Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer further alleged that the “high ranking officials” at the BBC’s deceitful tactics “led directly to Diana being left vulnerable in Paris on the night she died,” he told People.

Diana died in Paris on August 31, 1997, after a car chase involving paparazzi. She was 36.
